Relieves the tensions of 8 hours "in the box" sandwiched between two
hours of car-pool on either end.. Maybe that's why I never went to
HQ.

I can just imagine the bureaucrat at the FCC who gets stuck
wading thru all the filed comments searching for the one
that might actually point out something of substance that was
overlooked and would matter. I made my comment short and
to the point: "I agree, do it, drop the code test". So
whoever at the FCC doesn't have to waste much time on
my comment.

I thought you had to point out how the other respondants are misguided, or
whatever..... ;^)

You always have the chance to point out those misquided
comments during the 15 day reply comments period. :-) :-)

I looked at a large sample of the comments filed and they are an
embarassment to the Amateur Radio Service. It appears that a simple
literacy test is a more urgent need than a 5 wpm code test. A first
course in English grammar and basic writing wouldn't hurt either.
I prefer not to comment on the logic (or lack thereof) displayed in all
too many of the comments. However I did note quite a number of comments
whose authors were clearly unaware of the last 15 years worth of
regulatory changes or had no idea of what modes were allowed where.
